 1970s Unknown Metallic Knit Mod Dress – Size 2/4

Product Description:

Step into the shimmering spirit of the late 1970s with this rare, no-tag metallic knit sheath — a piece that feels like Studio 54 met Ivy League prep in the best possible way. With a body-grazing fit and varsity-inspired deep V neckline, this dress balances glitter and grit in equal measure.

The subtle golden-silver base is offset with stripes of burgundy, chartreuse, and pewter — giving a visual rhythm to the hem and neckline. Fully unlined and free of padding or interior shaping, it clings just enough without sacrificing movement. Features a center back zipper and slightly tapered silhouette.

Styled on our model Tomi (5’9″, Size 0/2) without pinning or clips. Likely fits a modern Size 2/4. See fit notes below.
